"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. I apologize that women had to witness this today, but in our lands women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don’t care about you,” said Adebolajo, who was holding two knives. His hands appeared to be covered in blood.

Terror experts warned that the video’s purpose was to inspire copycat attacks, the AP reported. Chatter on Islamic extremist websites has picked up since the London attack, according to the news wire service.

In response to the shocking murder of Rigby, Britain is flooding potential trouble spots with 1,200 officers. It’s unclear exactly where the extra police presence is being deployed.

Rigby, 25, was a drummer in the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. He had a wife and a 2-year-old son.

In a statement, the Manchester native’s family said he was “our hero” and called for privacy.

“We would like to say goodnight, Lee. Rest in peace, our fallen soldier. We love you loads and words could not describe how loved and sadly missed you will be,” the statement read. “Our hearts have been ripped apart from us and everyone is struggling to cope with this tragedy, so we would ask the press to respect our privacy to grieve our son's parting as we try and come to terms."

Adebolajo and the other alleged perpetrator, Michael Adebowale, were shot by police shortly after officers arrived on the scene of the London attack. They were taken to two separate hospitals. Both Adebolajo, 28, and Adebowale, 22, were British citizens of Nigerian descent.

Adebolajo, a convert to Islam, reportedly became radicalized in Britain and sold Muslim extremist literature in Woolwich, according to Agence France Presse.

In an attempt to prevent the person from committing suicide, Avleen K. Mokha in her Facebook post wrote, "Don't go ahead with this tonight. There's more in life to look forward to beyond tonight. Please be there to see it."
